Dear 5th Grade Parents,
Get ready for an exciting voyage back in time to Early America…
Our students are about to begin preparing for an interactive history program designed especially for 5thgraders, called “Walk Through the American Revolution”. This will take place at school on Tuesday, February 18 and Wednesday February 19.
This program will take us back in time, where the students will have roles to play, acting out key moments from the American Revolution and bringing them to life! Soon, your student will bring home a packet that will include a card showing how they will need to prepare for that day. Each group will be divided into 3 teams and will be earning points in a friendly competition. There are many ways to participate and earn points: acting, memorization, bringing props and coming in costume! We will be working with the students to help them prepare for the battle scenes these next three weeks!
Here is a link to the website for more information about the program and for great ideas on how to get a costume together- cheaply and easily. http://www.californiaweekly.com/walk-through-the-american-revolution/rev-student-intro . Costumes can also be purchased here - http://search.anytimecostumes.com. Students will be responsible for their own costume. We have acquired a number of costumes over the last couple of years for students to borrow as well. You will be getting your student’s character assignments very soon!
We will need at least 3 parent helpers per group. Please email us ASAP if you can help with props or if you can come on the 18th to help get the kids ready with costumes, name tags, and keeping score of team points. It’s guaranteed FUN! The history of how our great nation came to be will come alive for our students and they will remember this experience for years to come!
This is all possible due to the Ocean Knoll PTA, who funded this program for our grade! Please continue to support the OK PTA. Thank you!
